Site-Specific Hazard Awareness Training

office or staff employees;
scientific workers;
delivery workers;
customers, including commercial over-the-road truck drivers;
construction workers who are not exposed to mine hazards;
vendors or visitors;
maintenance or service workers who are not at a mine for frequent or extended periods;
maintenance or service workers who are working on non-mining equipment;
or miners (such as drillers or blasters) who move from one mine to another while remaining employed by the same independent contractor.
